It's rare to find ANY Cryptic Crossword Puzzle app. This one has everything one would expect, except being able to use the default keyboard. Puzzles are challenging to very difficult as is expected for the genre. None have been mind-numbingly difficult. There is a slight British flavo(u)r to these, but I have found no modern source for Cryptic Crosswords not written by British authors. Knowing this is important for solving some clues, but does not detract from the experience. 5 Stars!

Very good app for those reasonably skilled at solving cryptic crosswords but not yet at the very expert level. Challenging but not frustrating. Also good for those who are beginners at solving this type of puzzle, and a good introduction to the genre for people who look at cryptic puzzle clues and are intrigued but baffled. It will help you make sense of it all.

Meh. A lot of the clues are not what I would call cryptic, i.e. "It keeps time in the garden." Answer? "sundial." That's just a regular crossword clue. They're also not very creative, & sometimes the same clue & answer would be repeated in the very next puzzle. Also there is no explanation for how they got to the answers, which stinks. Some I really struggled with & even after being shown the answer could not make sense of. Would not pay for this.

Larger clue font.
'Next puzzle' button is better behaved.
